THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIP
With executives, managers, and professionals from all segments of the food industry reading QA media in print and online, our audience is predominantly Corporate Executives and QA/QC and Food Safety Managers — the principal purchasers and users of quality and food safety equipment and supplies.
In fact, our most recent statistics show QA readers as having 33,750 purchase intentions in all supply categories including cleaning and sanitation, pest control, hygiene, pathogen detection and control, laboratory services, foreign object detection, auditing, and software. It is for that very reason that QA focuses its editorial in these same important areas, attracting readers to both the digital and print media — and the advertising placed therein.
SERVING OUR AUDIENCE
Lisa LupoEditor
FOR 15 YEARS, the QA Media Group has brought its print and digital readers in-depth coverage and analysis of the food and beverage processing industry. In addition to the QA editorial and sales team’s 75 years of food industry experience, we leverage the expertise of professionals from across industry segments and geographies for insights on science and trends, practical applications, and best practices in quality assurance, food safety, and food defense.
Each year, we make it a priority to grow our relationships with these industry-leading processors and suppliers — and in 2018, we took it a step further to the international level, traveling to China to feature the stories of McCormick China and Qinba Tea, and featuring columnists from “across the pond” in Germany, France, and Nigeria.
But even while traveling abroad, we keep it close to home: We feature large (Bo Jackson’s 34 Reserve, Walmart, Dunkin’, Coca-Cola), small (Ballreich, Chef’s Garden) and up-and-coming (Copa Da Vino, Dixie Elixirs & Edibles, Cha Gardens) U.S. players. We add new executives to our illustrious Advisory Board each year. We include educational supplier expertise in editorial when applicable. We partner with key industry associations, regulatory representatives, and impartial academia to communicate broad-spectrum and peripheral knowledge and perspectives to attract an audience with purchasing power in all areas of food safety, quality, and defense.

Keeping Pet Food from Becoming Pest Food

STORED PRODUCT INSECTS THREATEN PET FOOD Stored Product Insects (SPIs) are a group of insects, primarily beetles and moths that feed off of grain-based foods. Not only do they feed off of them, they live in them. We may not notice them because they’re very small (typically 1/8” to ¼” long) and living in the food they’re eating, but once the populations get larger, they’ll infest nearby product, making their presence known and often difficult to control.
Pet stores and the pet section of retail stores have a huge challenge on their hands. A large percentage of their product is grain-based pet food. This food is highly susceptible to SPIs. Grain-based stored product foods, such as dogfood, are vulnerable to pest populations from the moment it was created in a food processing plant, to the moment it is used. At any point along the food’s “life,” it can be infested. Let’s look at the journey a bag of dog food takes and the points at which it is susceptible to stored product pests.
1. Manufacture: Dog food is made at a dog food processing plant, which can be threatened by many species of SPIs. These pests are often living in the manufacturing facility. Beetles or moths will lay their eggs in the food or bag as it is being filled. The bag is then sealed up, but the eggs can hatch into larvae which will grow as they eat the food.
2. Storage and Transport: After the bag of dog food is created, it will go to an area for storage or transport. If the truck or warehouse is carrying infested product, those populations may reach numbers where they may need to find new food. Some species of SPIs can bore holes in packaging, spreading the population from one bag of food to many.
3. Retail: Infestations can start at the store. Populations living in the retail environment will continually spread, looking for additional food sources.
4. Consumer: Infestations can even take place at the consumer’s home. Some species are present in the exterior of a building and will fly into homes looking for food. Other times, there may be a population in the home already which will spread to the dog food.
Pet food stores and pet food aisles are susceptible to Stored Product Insects.

Q&AADVERTORIAL
ASK THE EXPERTS: E M P L OY E E H Y G I E N E
1How can footwear sanitizing practices
damage employee hygiene SOPs and create contamination risk?The reality is that some standard industry practices have been proven to be ineffective and can result in the spread rather than the elimination of pathogens from footwear. For example, manual footwear sanitizing pans, door foamers, dry quat pellets, or pails with brushes for manual scrubbing of shoes are potentially, and in fact usually, ineffective. Any employee hygiene practice that allows for variability or that requires manual intervention will be inconsistent and create contamination risk.
2What is the key to an effective Footwear
Hygiene Program? The key to effective foot-wear sanitizing and hygiene is having the ability to
ate, but the most important is to ensure consistent vali-dation of effective sanitiz-ing SOPs. Additional factors to evaluate are space con-siderations, traffic flow and zoning, cost, and footwear and tread pattern selec-tion for overall cleanability, comfort, and safety. Our HACCP certified team can help consult on an effective program.
4What makes Meritech Handwashing and
Footwear Sanitizing different and more effective?All of Meritech’s equipment is fully automated, requir-ing no manual intervention and eliminating variabil-ity. Meritech Handwash-ing Systems are clinically proven to remove 99.98% of pathogens from hands and seamlessly integrate with fully automated footwear sanitizing pans or boot scrubbers that automatical-ly maintain required PPM levels of sanitizing chemi-
cal and increase contact time to eliminate footwear as a vector for the spread of pathogens. We just intro-duced our newest footwear sanitizing product, the Sole-Clean Dry Step, for use in dry and semi-dry production zones.
5Why use Meritech as your Employee
Hygiene partner?Our complete line of footwear scrubbing and sanitizing equipment, like our handwashing systems, is manufactured in the U.S. and has an industry best five-year warranty. Our equipment is easy to clean and maintain, and the proper “kill” level of chemical is guaranteed as our machines are professionally calibrated, certified, and supported by our team of Service Engineers. Our team of industry experts is here to support and achieve employee hygiene and food safety excellence.
validate effectiveness consistently. To be effec-tive, footwear sanitizing needs the appropriate “kill” concentration of sanitizing chemical and the ap-propriate “contact time” required for the chemical to be effective. Traditional footwear sanitizing options can lead to risks in these areas including variability in chemical concentration over the floor or minimal contact time on each foot. Food production com-panies need to test and validate both concentration and contact time for foot-wear process effectiveness.
3What are some of the questions to
ask when evaluating a captive footwear program?Captive footwear and con-trolled sanitizing SOPs for captive footwear are clearly on the way to becoming a mandatory food safety re-quirement in the U.S. There are many factors to evalu-
An effective Employee Hygiene Program is a critical component in the prevention of production zone contamination, and sanitizing shoes and boots before entering “clean zones” is imperative. Even the most stringent hand hygiene and gowning protocols can be completely compromised when there is ineffective footwear hygiene. Meritech President Michele Colbert explains the importance of fully automated systems for hand hygiene and footwear sanitizing to prevent the entry of pathogens into production areas.
